If you decide to do the move with a U-Haul, make a specific timetable. Include all the things that you would be doing in preparation for your move. If you’ll be proceeding without professional help, you may even want to ask for advice from people you know. Their moving experience will provide you with tips on what to avoid and areas of preparation you may have overlooked. Whether you choose to move with the help of professionals, rely on family and friends, or tackle it on your own, preparation and organization are crucial. Even if you hired top- notch movers and gathered all the assistance you can, your personal involvement in planning and organizing is essential. Without it, you may struggle to stay on top of everything that needs to be managed and prepared.
SETTLING IN
It’s probably after 11:00 p.m. by now, the first night in your new place. Pizza boxes are stacked on tables not yet positioned. Soda and water bottles stand guard in the eerie quiet of unfamiliar surroundings that feel somehow like, well, home. You’ve got days of settling in yet to make this your home. But good job for getting to this point! And welcome home!
